Story

After the party bus tour was over, Tara went and hung out with Marcy for a while. They saw some shooting stars and invited the rest of us to have a shooting star party. Tara, Savannah, Madi, Ondy, and I bundled up in warm clothes and drove out to Sandy Beach, where we set up chairs and watched the shooting stars. It was the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, so there was roughly a shooting star every 30 seconds.

I tried to catch a shooting star on my phone. I took a bajillion pictures but didn’t get any shooting stars. We got home around midnight.

Story

For "Water Wednesday" we went and hung out at Sandy Beach. We had pizza and took the kayaks out on the water. We paddled around for a couple of hours and had fun paddling inside the submerged grasses. Tara, Ondy, and I walked out as far as we could before it got too deep to touch.
